live from london. this is bbc news. president trump has said it's possible the us will get involved in the iran-israel conflict - as it continues to escalate. israel says at least 10 people were killed in iranian strikes overnight, with several missiles launched towards israel today, 'most of them' intercepted. meanwhile, iranian media says at least 128 people have been killed since israel began its assault on friday - with reports from the idf in the past hour that they have targeted an aerial refuelling aircraft at iran's mashhad airport. leaders of the world's wealthiest nations gather in canada for the g7 summit - with talks between sir keir starmer and mark carney already under way.

funerals for some of the victims of the air india plane crash have taken place - as the death toll rises to 270. and we'll have the latest from the club world cup - bayern munich against auckland city is just getting under way. hello and welcome - i'm rajini vaidyanathan. iran's state-owned tv says the country has launched a new wave of "retaliatory missiles" towards israel. and we've just seen these images of an israeli strike on tehran - as both sides continue bombarding each other for a third day. iran's president has called on iraq to stop israel from using its airspace to launch attacks on iran. president donald trump says the two sides should make a deal, adding calls and meetings are taking place

as the escalation stretches into a third day. earlier, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu said iran would pay what he called a "very heavy price" for civilian deaths - at least ten people were killed in in israel overnight. meanwhile, official media in iran reports 128 people were killed in israeli attacks - with iranian nuclear scientists reportedly among the dead. bbc journalists are unable to report from inside iran due to restrictions by the country's government. and here in the uk - the foreign office advised against all travel to israel. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega has the latest. this is what iran's response looks like. at night, another wave of missiles. israel's defences working to stop them, the interceptions lighting up the sky. but not all of them could be stopped. one hit this residential

neighbourhood in bat yam. daylight revealed the scale of the damage - homes destroyed, lives interrupted. among the dead, two children - a boy aged ten and a girl, eight years old. this is the building that was hit by the missile, and as you can see, an entire section of the building collapsed. there's nothing to recover here, and there's a lot of destruction all around, which gives you an idea of the power of this attack. and all morning, emergency teams have been searching for those who are still missing, believed to be under the rubble. shmuel came back to see what he could save from his home. "why do they want to destroy us?" he asks. "we did nothing to anyone." we are seeing here the enormous destruction of an iranian missile, but we are determined, we are determined to change the fate of the region, to lead it towards peace

by undermining iran's capability to threaten us existentially and threaten the region as a whole. another missile hit this house in tamra, a mainly palestinian town in the north. four women and children from the same family were killed. the second night of iranian attacks came in two waves. here, the missiles were captured flying over jordan. translation: we are defending ourselves. this defence is entirely legitimate. we are defending with strength and resolve, and our response is a reaction to aggression. therefore, if the aggression stops, naturally, our responses will also cease. israel too continues to attack. one of the targets was this oil refinery - the first strike on iran's energy infrastructure. israel has indicated that its attacks are going to continue. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the goal is to damage iran's nuclear programme but has also hinted at regime change. his critics say this is a war

of choice and the end goal remains unclear. and israelis are being warned of difficult days ahead. earlier, sirens sounded out across israel as the idf ordered its citizens to take shelter. our correspondent anna foster was among them. we are underground now. we have come in and the doors are closed and people are listening. i am just looking as well, this lady it is quite difficult for her to walk so she is being helped down. we know iranian missiles are eminently here and you can sometimes hear. last night in tel aviv where we were you could hear the sounds of the interceptions and the sounds of the explosions in areas like this and bat yam and other

suburban areas of tel aviv as well. that is the situation right now. you can see people watching and waiting and you can hear sounds outside of the air defences. that is the situation here and it is important to say, it is difficult to know where this is going at the moment because israel has said publicly there have been strikes again on iran today and we have seen iranian retaliation. world leaders are talking about de-escalation and there is diplomatic work going on behind the scenes but at the moment it is difficult to see any impact because you are having continuing waves of retaliatory action both ways since israel launched that attack on friday on some of eran's key nuclear facilities and nuclear scientists. i wanted to ask a bit more about where you are. a lot of these shelters are former schools, or other kind of buildings. i

wonder if you could take the audience through what kind of building it is and how many people will be sheltering there. so this is a school in normal times and is being used today as a shelter because what has happened as the people from this area of bat yam, that are living in the homes and apartments around where that missile hit, have come here today because their homes have been damaged. one woman earlier, her home was destroyed so people have been coming for supplies and support. the reason they do it in big buildings like this because a place like this has a big shelter so even when it is crowded outside as you saw it was, it means there is enough space for everybody to be able to get underground. what is important to mention, particularly in areas around tel aviv and the big suedes of this country like the south,

these shelters are in the main because of the threat of the rockets coming from gaza. that doesn't happen much at all since israel launched its military operation, but a lot of those shelters, this is an underground one and when you think missiles are coming it is a safe place to be. but a lot of high-rise buildings there shelters are on the different floors of hotels so you might be in a shelter 16 floors up which offers protection from a rocket attack from gaza for which it was originally designed but the threat is very different now. if you look at what iran is sending to israel in the form of missiles and drones, and there are conversations happening here amongst people, that people will generally go to shelters when they hear the siren goes off. the home office says you have 90 seconds to get to shelter. but because the situation has changed, people

are feeling so nervous. and it is important to point out that people in iran, they don't have the kind of system we have seen in action here, the warnings or sirens to go down to shelters. a lot of civilians in aaron often don't have any idea when some sort of israeli attack is coming their way, so as i so often the case, civilians here and civilians in iran, it is a frightening and scary moment for all of them as these repeated retaliatory attacks continued. the israeli army has now said people can leave their shelters. a sixth round of talks between the us and iran on a possible deal on tehran's nuclear programme was meant to have been taking place today. instead, both iran and israel have been striking deep within each other's territory. israel's attacks have targeted iran's nuclear facilities, top military commanders and senior nuclear programme officials.

satellite imagery shared with bbc verify shows damage to the natanz nuclear facility as well as a missile site south of the city of tabriz - hit in the first round of strikes against iran on friday. the foreign minister of oman, which had been mediating the talks, announced the cancellation. in a social media post, badr albusaidi said "diplomacy and dialogue remain the only pathway to a lasting peace. earlier i spoke to daryl kimball, executive director at the arms control association, a us-based nonpartisan organisation. crucially he has also been involved in nuclear de-escalation in the past. he told me earlier it's an extremely worrying situation. prime minister's netanyahu's decision to attack iran i think was mainly designed to disrupt the negotiations which were to resume today between the united states and iran. there was not a deal yet but they were on track to make progress. he has

succeeded in derailing those talks for now. we shall see if those resume. the other thing we need to recognise is that no matter how much israel continues to attack the scientists, the military leaders stand iranian military facilities, it has been clear for years, and israel acknowledges that, they cannot destroy eran's very substantial uranium enrichment capabilities and nuclear knowledge. this is only at best from an israel standpoint going to set back to the iranian programme a few weeks and it will probably make it much more difficult to achieve a diplomatic solution. it will make it much more difficult for the international atomic energy agency to understand what is going on are not in these facilities going forward. it will probably make it much more likely for the hardliners in iran who do want iran to pursue nuclear weapons

to withdraw from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, to withdraw co-operation with the international atomic energy agency and pursue a secret programme. so i think in the end this attack by israel, which was not in the self defence, it was designed to disrupt the negotiations, will make it more likely, not less, that iran presses nuclear weapons down the line. and we are seeing reports from the reuters news agency that at least 14 nuclear scientists have been killed in israeli attack since friday. just picking up on what you have just said, you don't think those kinds of attacks and a direct strikes nuclear infrastructure is going to deteriorate eran's nuclear capabilities? it will deteriorate to some extent, but let's take a look at what has

been hit and what is vulnerable to israeli attacks. the uranium enrichment complex which is mostly above ground has been damaged, we don't know to what extent, because of the attacks continue, but there is also an underground enrichment complex which has not been damaged according to open source intelligence we see in satellite photographs. other facilities are across iran that israel is trying to hit but they acknowledge themselves that they cannot destroy or stop the uranium programme by themselves. what netanyahu is trying to do, and this is an extremely important moment for donald trump. netanyahu is trying to drag the united states into this conflict because with us military support, more damage could be done to the iranian nuclear programme. but this is a war of choice buying netanyahu.

president trump has made it clear he wants a negotiated solution and it is important for president trump, for prime minister starmer and other european leaders to be clear that we need to have a ceasefire right now, that they are not going to support israeli attacks on the nuclear complex of eran but will defend the british or american military and political assets in the region. this is an important hour to prevent the further escalation and spread of this already deadly conflict. leaders of the world's wealthiest nations are gathering in canada today for the g7 summit - marking the 50th anniversary of the annual meeting. the british prime minister, sir keir starmer, has already had a meeting with the newly elected prime minister of canada, mark carney. high on the agenda are global conflicts - including rising tensions in the middle east and russia's ongoing war in ukraine. president trump's tariff war

against america's trading partners will also been upermost in the mind's of the other leaders, emmanuel macron - who'll also be attending the g7 - has insisted greenland's physical integrity be respected, during a visit to the semi- autonomous danish territory. the president of france pushed back against the idea that president trump might try to annex greenland, saying allies do not do such things. his visit is the first by a foreign head of state since president trump spoke of the us needing to take control of the arctic territory. funerals for some of the victims of thursday's plane crash in the indian city of ahmedabad have been held. so far around 30 victims have been formally identified using dna samples provided by relatives. only one person on board the air india flight survived the disaster, in which at least 200 and 70 people were killed.

in the last few minutes, afp has reported that the second black box recorder has been located. our correspondent, arunoday mukharji, is in ahmedabad and has the latest. this is the closest we can get to the crash site and since yesterday we have seen a steady stream of officials going into the crash site for further investigations. we were also told there was a team of the aircraft accident investigation bureau, assisted by officials from the us and uk as well. their focus is on ensuring they managed to gather as much evidence on the ground, under excruciating circumstances. they want to ensure that anything that is crucial to the investigation and perishable is protected and preserved for further investigation. we heard from the aviation minister who stressed the successful

recovery of the black box saying it will throw up the critical technical details about the moments leading to the crash including conversations on what kinds of buttons were being pushed and what the scene was at that time. along with that, what a significant looking forward does the orders of the watchdog who has ordered additional checks on existing 747s which is being carried out. some aircraft have been cleared and others are left and they are looking at this very seriously and this could cause delays and disruptions for flights and they will be cautioning passengers as well so that is the investigation in full force. just a few kilometres away at the hospital the scenes continue to be very disturbing for families arriving from the uk. still waiting for information and a very chaotic conditions. waiting to hear about what is happening to the bodies, when they can get access to them, because medical procedures are on and the dna testing is on to establish

identities as relatives continue to wait. it has been an excruciating wait as they try to figure out the next step but it is a difficult time in those difficult scenes continue. indian rescuers are searching for a number of people after a bridge at a tourist destination in the city of pune collapsed. witnesses said a large group was making its way across the bridge over the indrayani river when it gave way. local reports say it has been swollen by heavy monsoon rains. police in the us state of minnesota are hunting a gunman who shot dead a democratic party politician and her husband, in what's been described as a 'politically motivated assassination'. earlier he had shot and wounded another senior democrat and his wife. the attacker was posing as a police officer. president trump says such horrific violence will not be tolerated. simon jones reports.

hundreds of officers on the streets, hunting a gunman who's targeting politicians. democratic state representative melissa hortman and her husband were killed in their home. democratic state lawmaker john hoffman and his wife were also shot multiple times. they survived. the front door of their house is riddled with bullets. mr hoffman is said to be out of surgery and in a stable condition. the president gave his reaction to the shootings. absolutely terrible. and they're looking for that particular man right now. and this is the man the police are hunting, vance luther boelter. he's believed to have impersonated a police officer and escaped after engaging fire with the police. we would ask the public, if you do locate him, or see him, to call 911. do not approach him. you should consider him armed and dangerous and you should call 911 immediately

with the information. this is the vehicle believed to have been used by the suspect. it was equipped with emergency lights. police say they found a list of names of other officials in it. the suspect is now believed to be travelling on foot. this is not a real police officer. this was somebody that clearly had been impersonating a police officer, again using the trust of this badge and this uniform to manipulate their way into the home. the authorities are warning people in the area not to answer their door to a police officer unless there are two officers together. officials are investigating the connection between the suspect and the politicians who were attacked. this was an act of targeted political violence. peaceful discourse is the foundation of our democracy. we don't settle our differences with violence or at gunpoint. increased security has been put in place for elected

officials in minnesota against the backdrop of political violence in the us becoming increasingly common. simon jones, bbc news. police in southern colombia have arrested a woman suspected of being involved in the assassination attempt last week of a presidential candidate. miguel uribe was shot in the head while giving a speech in the capital. he's still in intensive care, but doctors say his condition is improving. the women was apprehended in the amazon region of caqueta and will be transferred to bogota. the alleged shooter and an accomplice are currently being held in a heavily guarded bunker. here, the chancellor, rachel reeves, has refused to apologise to those calling for a national inquiry into grooming gangs - following the prime minister's decision to hold one - saying the government has 'never dismissed the voices of victims'. sir keir starmer annouced his change of mind last night having maintained for several months it was unneccessary. here's our political correspondent, jack fenwick.

i was piled with alcohol, piled with drugs, and i couldn't move. i don't even class myself as a human being any more. the voices of women who were the victims of child grooming gangs. it's an issue that successive governments have grappled with for years. reviews in rochdale and telford both found the perpetrators were mainly men with pakistani and south asian heritage. for months, the prime minister has resisted calls for a full national inquiry. i strongly believe that we should implement the recommendations that have already been made, and that is what we are doing. last night, that changed, but many are asking why it's taken so long. this morning, the chancellor defended her boss. the prime minister suggested it was only right-wingers who were trying to stir this up. people who wanted this to happen or raise the issue were sometimes even labelled as being racist. well, i think keir starmer, our prime minister, has always been really focused, as he was when he was director of public prosecutions, on the victims and not grandstanding. the former detective who investigated grooming gangs in rochdale is holding judgment

until there are more details. who is going to lead it? what are the terms of reference? we don't want more recommendations sitting on a shelf for years and nothing happening. so whilst the announcement itself is fine, to me, it's a pr exercise until we know the detail. the government say a review they commissioned from baroness louise casey has found evidence that points to the need for an inquiry. the opposition say sir keir starmer has had to change his mind again. this is just another example of the prime minister being pressurised - principally, by us - into u-turning, in the same way as we've seen with the winter fuel payments means-testing u-turn as well. the conservatives were in government just last year, and others have criticised their record, too. well, i don't recall seeing it in their election manifesto, which means, frankly, i think they're a bit johnny-come-lately. and of course, they were the people that didn't carry

out any of the recommendations from the previous report. politicians of all stripes say the victims in these towns deserve justice. ministers will now be under pressure to make sure that happens as soon as possible. jack fenwick, bbc news. the company building the hs2 rail line between london and birmingham has formally alerted revenue and customs to allegations about the practices of two firms supplying workers to the project. it's understood one of the companies has been suspended. hs2 limited said it treated whitleblower allegations seriously and was sitll conducting its own investigation. the prince and princess of wales have shared new photos of prince william with their three children to mark father's day. the photos were accompanied with the message "happy father's day, papa we love you! g, c & l. the king and queen have also wished a happy father's day "to all dads everywhere"

posting photos of them with their own fathers. an italian museum has called on patrons to "respect art" after a couple was filmed breaking a chair covered in hundreds of glittering crystals. footage released by the palazzo maffei, in verona, shows a man and woman taking pictures of each other while pretending to sit on the so-called "van gogh" chair. the man then appears to slip and fall onto the chair, crushing it underneath him. the couple then fled the museum. don't mess with art, as you can see. incredible pictures. before we leave you this half hour, a reminder you can get all the latest developments from the middle east as tensions between israel and iran continue to escalate. the live page with the very latest update as well as analysis from our correspondence across the

region. plenty more on that story in the next hour hearing bbc news.

this is bbc news. the headlines... president trump has said it's possible the us will get involved in the iran-israel conflict, as it continues to escalate. israel says at least 10 people have been killed, with several missiles launched towards israel today. meanwhile, iranian media says at least 128 people have been killed since israel began its assault on friday. there are reports that a second black box has been recovered from the air india crash site, as the death toll rises to 270. leaders of the world's wealthiest nations are gathering in canada for the g7 summit, with talks between sir keir starmer

and mark carney already under way. now it's time for a look at today's sport. the club world cup continues, with bayern munich up against amateur side auckland city fc in cincinatti. it's the opening match of group c and it's 4-0. the group also contains benfica and boca juniors. elsewhere in group b, paris saint-germain take on atletico madrid, and in group a, palmeiras face porto. the italian football federation has announced genarro gattuso as their new head coach with a press conference due to be held on thursday. the former international, who won the 2006 world cup with the azzurri and represented his country on 73 occasions, replaces luciano spaletti.

in a statement, the italian football federation president gabriele gravina described gattuso as a "symbol of italian football." the canadian grand prix gets underway in about an hour and a half, with george russell and max verstappen on the front row just one race after the latter deliberately collided with the former. meanwhile, ex-formula one driver robert kubica, whose sole victory in f1 came at the canadian grand prix in 2008, has won le mans for the first time alongside yifie yay and phil hanson. racing for ferrari, the victory comes 14 years after kubica was involved in a career and indeed life-threatening crash while rallying. the final round of the us open at oakmont is underway, although the leading players won't be due out on course for another couple of hours. the man they're all looking to chase is sam burns. the american followed up his brilliant 65 in round two with a one-under-par 69 to sit at four under overall. that put him a shot clear of compatriot jj spaun and veteran adam scott,

with viktor hovland two shots futher back at one under. germany's tatjana maria has claimed victory at the queens club championships with a straight sets victory over world number 15 amanda anisimova. the 37-year-old has made it quite the week, as our correspondent laura scott explains. talk away in a sudden corner of the capital, everyone has been getting into the swing of the grass court season, but women's tennis enjoying the limelight after half a century away. tatjana maria started out in qualifying. we can come here she was becoming the oldest woman to reach a final at this level. the 37-year-old mother of two's style is unlike any other. full of slicing and dicing. entertaining a capacity crowd, frustrating the young american opponent. 14 years the germans to change, she couldn't walk her out. there was a hint of hope late on for the eighth

seed, but that was short-lived, as maria bamboozled her way to the title. tatjana maria is a queen's club champion! across a seven round here, each opponent has left unable to answer the question, how do you solve a problem like maria? she has got to a wimbledon semifinal before with our unique style of tennis, and here, with her family watching on, she has become the first women to lift the trophy in more than 50 years. meanwhile, on the atp tour, taylor fritz beat alex zverev to claim the stuttgart open. after the american took the first set 6-3, zverev put up more fight in the second to take it to a tie break but it was fritz who prevailed in straight sets. ireland are chasing a massive victory target of 257 if they're to beat west indies in the third and final t20 international of their series.

the opening two matches were abandoned without a ball being bowled due to the weather and in this one the hosts won the toss and sent the west indies in who made 256-5. evan lewis and shai hope both making half centuries in an opening stand of 122. ireland are currently 80-1 in response. and that's all the sport for now. let's return to our main story. the israeli prime minister has warned that iran will pay "a very heavy price" for the killing of ten civilians in missile strikes. benjamin netanyahu was speaking in the city of bat yam during a visit to an apartment block that was badly damaged. the israeli military says it has carried out further strikes in iran, including one more than 2,000 kilometres away at mashhad airport. iran says it has launched a new wave of attacks on israel in the latest phase of its retaliation.

iran says more than 120 civilians have been killed since friday. israel - itself a nuclear power - says its aim is to completely neutralise iran's nuclear programme. but this will be challenging, as joe inwood explains. since the start of this conflict, israel has been emphasising its attacks on air defences. the idf released these videos, showing iranian systems are being destroyed. and earlier today, israel said their drones were now flying over tehran 24 hours a day. "we have air freedom all the way to tehran," they said. but getting air superiority, that's control of the skies, is just one part of israel achieving its stated aim of destroying iran's nuclear programme. now, these are said to be three of the most important targets. a new facility at mount kolang, fordow and natanz, thought to be the most important site for the enrichment of uranium. the idf recently released this 3d image showing the site at natanz, which they claim to have badly damaged. but as you can see, this facility is just a few metres underground.

fordow and kolang are buried much deeper, more than 80 metres. and this presents real problems for israel. it's very difficult to access without unique bunker busters that only the us military possesses. with us participation, there is a chance that together israel and the us would be able to eliminate the entirety of the infrastructure, but that assumes that we know where everything is. now, the weapon he is referring to there is the gbu-57 b, or massive ordnance penetrator, one of these. it can currently only be delivered by american bombers. but the united states is not involved in these strikes. the most effective weapon israel is thought to have is one of these, called a rocks, attached here to an f-16, which can penetrate about six metres. and so for israel to achieve their stated aim, destroying iran's nuclear programme is going to be really difficult. but there is a growing sense

that there is a different agenda at play here. and that is regime change. prime minister benjamin netanyahu even called on the people of iran to rise up, quoting the revolutionary slogan - women, life, freedom. the bbc's persian service broadcasts to the people of iran but is banned by the regime. their editor thinks that message is going to be a tough sell. we at the persian service have seen a lot of dissatisfaction from iranian people towards the regime, but that doesn't necessarily easily translate into taking side with benjamin netanyahu, who is now attacking iran. despite those many challenges, it seems benjamin netanyahu wants to see the iranian government fighting not just for the future of its nuclear programme, but for its very survival. the uk government is calling for de-escalation of intense fighting between israel and iran, despite the prime minister announcing that more british military jets will be

sent to the middle east. this morning, the chancellor faced questions from laura kuenssberg, who asked her why the uk is sending these jets. to protect our personnel and bases who are based in the region. that's why we're sending assets, including jets. but keir starmer was very clear yesterday and will be at the g7 that we are urging de-escalation. we're very concerned about what is happening, the implications for the region, but also the implications for the rest of the world. and so very much the message that the prime minister is taking to the g7 this week is to encourage calm heads and talks. and not further escalation of this conflict. and can you tell us where the jets are going? are they going just to british bases? i'm not going to comment on operational matters. things are obviously very fast moving, but

we do have personnel, we do have bases in the region. and it is right, given everything that's happening that we send additional assets there as a precautionary measure. and might the uk support and help israel attacking iran? and just to be clear with people watching this morning, on some occasions previously, on a couple of occasions, the uk has helped israel when they have been attacked by iran. will the uk help israel this time? well, the second thing that we have done in the past is defend israel from attacks. we have never been involved in attacking with israel. i think those two things are very different, but i'm not going to comment on what may or may not happen. this is a very fast moving situation. we do believe that israel has a right to defend itself. we are very concerned about iran's nuclear ambitions. that would be incredibly dangerous for britain and the rest of the world if iran were to develop a nuclear weapon. and so we share those

concerns and we share the concerns as well, of the iaea, who have been very clear in their report. and it's very disappointing that iran has not cooperated fully with the iaea. but, chancellor, do you believe, as the israeli ambassador believed very clearly and very firmly, she claimed that iran presented an imminent threat to israel. do you agree with that? well, we are very concerned about the nuclear weapons programme, but our plea to both sides and to all those involved is to de-escalate. that is the priority right now, because de-escalation is what is necessary to make progress on a whole range of issues and to protect people in the region, but also more widely. you know, we've seen civilian deaths in israel over night. indiscriminate attacks from iran on israel.

i am very concerned about what is happening, and that's why our focus is on de-escalation. but you are also sending jets to the region. i think a lot of people watching might wonder, that's a bit contradictory, saying, oh, calm things down, but actually moving military assets to that part of the world. well, we have personnel and we have bases in the region, and it is our duty as a government to protect our personnel and our bases. we have military personnel in the middle east. it would be a dereliction of duty on our part if we weren't doing everything that was needed to protect those. it is a fast-moving situation and it is absolutely right as a precautionary measure that we send additional assets, including jets, to the region, that's the right thing to do. i think it's what people would expect us to do, given how fast-moving the situation is. and what would your advice be to british people who are in the region? well, to follow the foreign office advice. that is likely as well to change as the situation

on the ground changes. so i would encourage people to look at the foreign office advice. there already has been advice given, but to continue following that, based on the latest developments. and why this is relevant, particularly to you as chancellor, of course, and to people watching at home, is, as we've been talking about with lord brown, if this becomes a prolonged conflict, there are implications for the price of oil. and i just want to show people actually on the screen what happened to the price of oil when this news broke. you can see that then actually is actually what happened before, when russia invaded ukraine, i was going to make the comparison because this is what happened when russia invaded ukraine, it turned into a prolonged conflict. and what we saw was a spike in the oil price. and then, of course, a surge in the bills that people had to pay in their energy prices at home. how concerned are you that might happen again? obviously, monitoring this very closely as the government, you can see from the chart that energy prices, oil prices are still lower than they were

at the start of this year. but there's absolutely no complacency from myself or the treasury. and as well, the concerns are around shipping routes both for oil and gas exports, but also more widely because so much goods trade passes through the middle east. so obviously we're following this closely. it's one of the reasons, laura, that we are urging de-escalation, because obviously the impact on the region of the middle east is immense, but the impacts on all of us are immense. we've seen in the last few years that things that unfold far from our borders have huge implications for the uk. chancellor rachel reeves there. israel's ambassador to the uk is tzipi hotovely. she's been speaking to the bbc's laura keunnsberg about the consequences of israel's action against iran. iran with nuclear

capabilities will be devastating to the region, including the gulf countries. now, we are in a point where president trump gave 60 days of negotiations to the iranians to give a diplomatic solution. and the iranians didn't really want it to have any diplomatic solution. they were actually, when the iaea published this report that was clearly showing that iran was misleading the international community, enriching uranium... and we saw with our intelligence abilities that they were racing fast to get nuclear bombs with the combination of enrichment and weaponization. when all this happened, we had to move fast to operate against iran's nuclear ambitions. but let me tell people also what the director of intelligence in the united states, said very clearly recently. we continue to assess that iran is not yet building a nuclear weapon. israel has faced ongoing threats from iran for many years. there was no imminent threat. there was imminent threat. and can you can i please ask you something? we both are not

nuclear experts, but i think everyone knows that in order to have an enrichment of uranium... you need to have for your civil capabilities, it's enough to have 3.5%, and they were enriching beyond 60%. so what do you think? and yet the assessment from the united states was that as things stand, iran has not at this point been building a nuclear weapon. there was, in that regard, no imminent threat. and there were talks due today. there was an imminent threat. i beg to differ. you're definitely not in line with the fact that the iranians were both creating this program to destroy israel, to eliminate israel. and you know something? after 7th of october, if there is one thing we learned, when our enemies are saying clearly they want to eliminate israel and they are preparing the capabilities - and i think the iaea report is quite clear about that - then we should believe them. and israel here was acting an act of self-defence. it was an imminent threat. but you were acting three

days before diplomatic talks were scheduled. they were meant to be happening today. there was that option. and instead of giving another three days where there could have been a chance at resolving this without bloodshed, without attacks on civilians, your own civilians overnight now being attacked and losing their lives. why was israel unable to give another three days before striking like this? first of all, the 60 days being expired, and we saw that iran has no intentions to get into a diplomatic solution here. they've been doing what they've been doing for the last 20 years. they were clear that they want to have nuclear weapon. and, you know, israel knows how this thing can be dangerous because we operated in the past... our history shows, twice... we operated 1981. we operated against iraq. and, 2007, we operated against the nuclear aspirations of assad in syria. both times, the international community owes a huge thank you to israel. and it's the same case here. europe owes a huge thank you to israel for doing that.

and the gulf countries as well. our region would have been a place that is not safe for anyone if iran would have accomplished their plan. let's hear now from tehran. the iranian government have not been able to give the bbc an interview, so instead laura keunnsberg has been speaking to hamidreza olomzaday, a foreign affairs analyst. she asked him first about the uk governemnt's decision to send raf jets to the middle east and whether that makes the uk a target for iran. they have not been involved yet, by just sending the proteges does not mean they are in war. but if they are in war, they will certainly be a legitimate target for iran. iran has been very clear at this time that any country that supports israelis and gets involved in either defending the israelis or attacking iran would be a legitimate target for that. iran does not have any problem with that. it is very serious about that. because it has turned into an existential war for iran. israelis have passed a red line that is very serious and there is no

return from that. iran is going to defend itself by any means and in any way. and any country, any country, even the americans, the uk or any country, who supports the israelis would be a legitimate target for iran. so iran is threatening the uk? if they are involved. if they don't get involved, there's no worries. it's about security. it's a war. if you get involved in a war, that is what you have chosen. if the uk chooses to get into the war, that would be the price it needs to pay. but if there is no involvement, then there is no threat at all. what is it like in tehran today after the strikes overnight? the general feeling inside the country is unity and support for the retaliation measures by the government. and that's the anger people are showing towards the israeli regime. some opposition figures would say the opposite.

they'd say for a very long time, people have been deeply unhappy with the iranian regime and their refusal to show the international community what they're really dealing with nuclear material is what has led to this. there are some voices but they are very minor. those who like you would like to call iranian regime are very minor. there are many opposition figures. even those in prison in the past have been involved in developments two or three years ago. in 2009. many of those figures have united the others and shown solidarity with the government. they are standing for iran. the iranian government has brutally repressed many of the people who have tried to criticise it. why will iran not come clean to the world about its nuclear programme? they've been formally found to be in breach of their obligations

by the united nations and for many years have not been completely open about what is going on. it depends on how we judge the iranian performance. iran has had the biggest inspection regime by the iaea for many years. iran has been under serious inspections. something much more than the regular inspections that the iaea is supposed to carry out. but the politicisation of the situation by the iaea has made it difficult. so, according to the charter of the iaea and the regulations, iran has been following all of the rules and obligations it was supposed to do. but by criticising, and claiming that iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon, the iaea has been deviating

from what the nature of its activities are supposed to be. there is no proof that iran has been doing that and actually other way around, there have been many reports and proofs that iran has not been pursuing nuclear weapons. that fact is that a neutral international body has found iran to be in breach for the first time of its obligations when it comes to nuclear materials. and the united states, you quote there, their intelligence... the united states intelligence director has said what iran is doing is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons. so, why should anyone believe that iran is not trying to create a nuclear weapon, or does not have ambition to create nuclear weapons, which of course, israel sees as an existential threat? according to the charter of the iaea, iran has the right to enrich uranium. that's a legal right everyone has. if there is any claim that iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon,

they need to prove that. it's not possible to prove something that doesn't exist. if the americans, the iaea, the europeans, whoever, claims that iran is pursuing one - needs to provide documents for that. needs to provide evidence for that. i would just remind viewers that iran has been found in breach by the international authority of not coming clean about its nuclear programme and it is the iranian government's stated aim to try to destroy israel. isn't it quite understandable then that they've been seeking to destroy any nuclear facilities the country has? it doesn't necessarily mean that iran is pursuing a nuclear bomb. if iran hasn't been clear in some aspects of their nuclear activities, which i do not accept that, is pursuing a nuclear bomb because of that, no. if the iaea or israel claim iran is pursuing one, they need to provide documents and evidence that. hamidreza gholamzadeh speaking to us from tehran.

protests are taking place in several cities in europe against tourists. a network of campaigners calling themselves southern europe against over-tourism are holding demonstrations in italy, france and spain. sarah rainsford is at the one in barcelona. tourism per se, but against over tourism. the huge number of people visiting cities like venice and making it almost unbearable for locals to love and making it almost unbearable for locals to love and, pushing up prices and particular for housing but from everything from coffee to getting into restaurant. it's becoming increasingly difficult for those who love and it are cities. that is a problem. today, there was a march through barcelona, lots of people chanting, tourists go home. they had water pistols, they were spring tourists as the past. at one point there was smoke bombs thrown into a hotel, leaving a few traders

quite shaken. generally, this is a problem that people here feel very acutely, and that is why there are so much passion about that. we have spoken to people who have been forced from their homes because landlords want to make more money from short-term works. we are talking to people who are really experiencing problems. barcelona has taken measures. they are not banning all short-term tourist rentals in the next three years, but there is huge demand from tourism. this year is expected to be a record summer, so the demand is there, the problem and the anger and frustration is always there. it's going over. -- it's going nowhere. before i leave you i will take you to the bbc news website, just to remind you that we are running a live page there with all of the latest updates. the post at the top talking about an interview that benjamin netanyahu has done on fox news, the main points on that are on
